Lie 1: You cannot become wealthy through a job.

Most wealthy people I know, became so because of having a fulfilling steady job.

We don't talk about them because we salivate on the startup billionaires, of which there are only so many.

Consistent Salary + Investing = Wealth

Lie 2: You are unambitious if you are an employee.

A startup isn't for everyone.

I have met the most ambitious, committed, driven professionals who derive joy from their jobs. They would make terrible entrepreneurs.

It is this awareness that makes them successful.

Lie 3: If you are young, you only learn working in

In a corporate job, you learn structure, you learn planning, you learn systems, you learn processes.

Most importantly, you learn how individual contribution across multiple teams, moves a large engine.

Lie 4: You can never be happy working for someone else.

Most people who I know are immensely happy with their job rarely claim to be working for someone else.

They are working towards the larger goal of the organization.

And they feel proud to be contributing towards that.

Lie 5: All workplaces are political.

Humans, are political.

We love to gossip, we love to guard our own territory and we do not like being proven wrong.

The key then is to find an organization (and several exist), where merit is more important than who or what you know!

Lie 6: Don't make friends at your workplace.

It will be such a tragedy if you believe so.

Instead, avoid organization that play zero-sum games. That say, "in order for you to win, someone else will have to lose."

Work at places where competition is considered a healthy trait.

Lie 7: Experience is the only thing that matters.

Experience is important. More important though is attitude and curiosity, because that ensures that you can gather experience in any new field, if you have to.

If without experience, bank on your attitude and curiosity.

Lie 8: "My company will never fire me. I am too important."

No one is too important.E

veryone can be dispensed.

Don't ever get entitled.

Don't ever get comfortable.

Keep learning. Keep asking questions. Keep exploring.

Lie 9: Hard work is always rewarded.

Not true.

Hard work without direction, is work wasted.

Focus on the direction and results of your work, just as much as you focus on the intensity of it.

And showcase that work.

Not just through talking. Through its impact.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
